System Of A Down reunion announcement expected

The much rumoured reunion of System Of A Down is expected to be announced next week. Monday, in fact. So get ready for that. It’s expected that the announcement will be made as part of a wider update on next year’s Download festival, which it’s thought the band will be headlining.

Asked about the possibility of a reunion by The Pulse Of Radio back in August, frontman Serj Tankian said: “[Bassist] Shavo [Odadjian] got married like two months ago, we were all at his wedding, and you know, we all talk, we’re friends, nothing’s changed, and we get offers to play shows, tours, whatever, and we discuss them once in a while. We have not made any decisions as of yet as to what we’re gonna do. But when we do, it’ll be quite obvious”.

Earlier this month, French radio presenter Francis Zégut claimed that SOAD are booked to perform at Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy in Paris on 6 Jun. This would put the band very close to Download in both space and time, so it would be rude of them not to play the festival.

Do you think they’re taking requests? I would like them to play ‘Know’ off the first album and all of ‘Toxicity’.
